I recently completed my 300-hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The course was packed with valuable content, and I learned a great deal from the comprehensive curriculum. Throughout my studies, the team provided excellent support and guidance, always responding with kindness and professionalism. A special mention must go to Lisa; her encouragement and positivity were such a driving force for me. She’s a real gem who made the whole journey even more enjoyable. I’m now excited to put everything I’ve learned into practice with my future learners.

Excellent support and customer service

It was my first experience studying online, an i found it convenient and easy to manage. The TEFL course provided excellent support and guidance throughout my learning journey. All my studies went smoothly, and I truly enjoyed the self-study format, which allowed me to learn my own pace and reflect on progress.

I found the course to be useful. It is concise and informative. The quizzes are not very challenging. It could be enriched with sample texts. May be some resources could also be provided as part of the course. All in all it has enriched my knowledge.

I have just completed the Advanced 120 hour TEFL Course, and I really enjoyed completing the Modules. As a Trainer and Assessor, and a Teacher in Vocational Education Teaching , I learned more ways to be effective and efficient with the learners.

I found the Course easy to follow and I liked that there were Audios, Videos and Review Questions, to keep myself on track.

I am going to also complete the 30 hour How to Teach Online Course to have more flexibility and adaptability with my options gaining a position as a TEFL Teacher.

I highly recommend this TEFL Course!😊

I just finished my level 5 tefl and I already found a job!

Before starting I didn’t know which platform to choose because a lot of them felt a bit scammy.

I trusted the good reviews about tefl institute, and I’m sure I did the right thing!

Highly recommend to newbies/beginners who want to teach overseas!

Having had no prior experience with teaching English, this was also my first attempt at learning the information to become certified to teach. My experience with the course, its content, quizzes/tests, and the feedback provided by the TEFL institute teachers was excellent. It was a bit stressful and overwhelming for me at times, and what I learned was far more advanced than even my 4th year of college. Great job and thanks TEFL Institute!
